It's a rather peaceful island when you get down to it. It's warm and temperate, the water clear and perfect, and the air is humid and accompanied by a soft breeze. Comfortable weather in every possible way.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The beach is your metaphorical oyster (or possibly literal one, depending on what you find) and it doesn’t seem as though the Chiefs are happy until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
After all, there's nothing wrong with the beach today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.

Well, there's Serph, Joshua, Raven, Shinjiro, Keith, Lelouch, and probably Jacopo too. They're all already helping me. And then I was going to ask Prussia for something so... yeah.
I don't think you're terrible. But I do think you're pretty mean. I also think I have a lot of people helping already and I wouldn't want to trouble anyone. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing you'd like anyways.

and then she just kind of slowly deflates instead. ]
Yes. I know. I'm a bitch. Thank you for the reminder because I had totally forgotten that obvious fact. Anyway, how do you know what I'd like? Have you asked? No, of course you haven't, because you just want to judge the person you assume I am. Pretty cold. But nothing I'm not used to. I'll just go back to making all those nets and snares I was working on. To help everyone gather food. Not that you'd believe me about something like that.
I don't know how, [ she mumbles, clearly still a little cross. ] But I am pretty good at making traps, which is why I offered to help you get ingredients in the first place.
[ oh god no why he needs to turn the wattage on that smile by about 8,000%
Vriska wrinkles her nose. ]
I ... whatever. Look, I am really not great at being a nice person, but that doesn't mean I don't want to help or ... you know. You're ... nice. Really. Don't thank me. Like, seriously, don't.
[ Totally not stilted at all, the way she says that! ]

You're adorable, [ she says, in a flat tone that suggests she does not find him adorable.
BUT THEN SHE'LL SIGH AND TOSS HER HAIR IMPERIOUSLY!!! whatever it's fine. ]
Fine, fine. Everyone would probably go ballistic if I made you cry, so I'll help you out for once. What other ingredients do you need?
no subject
[He is going to get angry, though.]
We need lots of spices and meat to go with the curry and rice! But I think we have enough people gathering ingredients now that I think about it.

[ ... folds her arms over her chest and looks him up and down. He's actually shorter than her, which is great. ]
Are you saying that because it's true, or because I'm the last person you want helping you with anything?

Please. Don't spare my feelings. Just tell me you think I'm mean and terrible! Would it kill you to be honest?

Do you like cooking?

[He hasn't cried once since they got here!!]
Um... if I teach you how to cook, would you teach me how to hunt?
no subject
[ A SIGH. Vriska will attempt a smile. She's Trying™. ]
Sure. I will teach you everything I know about how to make snares. That sounds like a fair deal to me!
no subject
[Laphicet smiles brighter than a thousand suns. He's trying too!]
Thank you, Vriska!

[That smile's still just as bright until he suddenly shifts into a more serious expression.]
But I'm not nice. I'm a selfish wicked little boy.
no subject
I have trouble believing that.
[ But there isn't really derision in her voice. Just a curious kind of skepticism. ]

Then again, maybe I should take my own advice about not judging somebody. Did you really kill someone?
